Self Storage : Climate Controlled May Not Be Necessary

By Jennifer Reeves

When you start out looking for that self storage unit to help free up some of the space in your home, it can be somewhat overwhelming. By taking a little bit of time, and putting thought and care into the process, you can avoid a lot of the headaches that some people experience. Always remember that the folks at upickstorage.com are here to help you out when you have any questions about the storage of your valuables.

You always want to begin by determining your need for climate control. Is it really worth the extra expense? If you live in KS, where the climate is considered to be temperate, you are one of the lucky ones! By definition, climate control is considered to be units that are kept above 40 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter months and not above 90 degrees during the warmer months. A temperate region tends to stay within this range, so climate control is not as necessary as it is in other parts of the country. Generally speaking, when temperatures vary drastically day to day, moisture can form on items, deterioration can occur, and sometimes furniture can warp or crack.

Climate control is necessary when storing some fragile items, because you will always want to have the safest environment possible when storing for long periods of time. One rule of thumb to follow: if you live in the area and would keep the items in your garage and feel comfortable, it would be completely fine to choose a non-climate or standard unit. The majority of appliances, bikes, outdoor furniture, tools, sporting equipment, dishes, glassware, other kitchen items, and lawn equipment are all going to be fine when stored without temperature control. When storing in a standard unit, you will always want to follow good packing methods to ensure the longevity of your valuables.

There are items that should always be stored in a climate controlled environment to keep them at their best quality. Below is a list of items that are best kept in a temperature regulated unit:

Photographs

Books and records

Important personal and business documents

Film and cameras

Paintings

Mattresses

Certain Electronics

Media such as CDs, DVDs, and other software

Musical Instruments

Clothing, and items made of natural materials

Antique Furniture

Remember: if you have a sentimental attachment to what you are storing, it’s best to do so in a climate controlled environment. This goes for items of high value as well. If you are questioning the safety of items you know you are going to store for an extended period of time, it is simply best to use climate control- your peace of mind is well worth the investment!
